Poults covered in poo

[Tiranni]

Only time any of my turkeys get messy is if they are to crowded in unclean pens. Might have something to do with what they are eating is there a lot of runny droppings? Also when its hot they drink a lot more water and makes for runny messy droppings.

Their poop seems to be normal. I watch them go to the bathroom, and walk through it right after. I think that's the main problem. Their enclosure couldn't be any cleaner.

It has been hot here too, over 100 for the past week.

Here's one of my little poop monsters. You can see his/her wing feathers have it all in them.

Yes that looks like that's from runny droppings. If its been over 100 they are probably drinking a lot of water making for messy droppings that will stick to anything that touches it. But they sure are cute little poop monsters strutting thinking there all that and then some. Is either trying to gobble yet?

I haven't heard any gobbling yet. I'm really hoping one or both are toms.

I love hearing young poults trying to gobble . I have about 40 poults right now and its so hilarious watching 15 or so trying to gobble all at same time.
